  • Title: Intradural disc herniation at the T1-T2 level.
    Author: Negovetić L, Cerina V, Sajko T, Glavić Z.
    Journal: Croat Med J; 2001 Apr; 42(2):193-5. PubMed ID: 11259744.
    Abstract:
    Intradural disc herniations comprise 0.26-0.30% of all herniated discs. Five percent are found in the thoracic, 3% in the cervical, and 92% in the lumbar region. Although intradural disc herniation may be suspected on preoperatively made CT scans, myelograms, and MRI scans, establishing the diagnosis prior to the surgery is difficult. We present a case of the patient with severe neurological deficits, caused by intradural thoracic disc herniation at T1-T2 interspace, which required surgical treatment. The symptoms were relieved immediately after surgery. This is the first description of an intradural disc herniation at that level.
